    Because £75m gets you an out of form Lukaku and probably won’t even get you a Callum wilson (with all his injury risks)

    Not a penny short of £100m for me, be that is at today’s prices

    HALLER PASSES WEST HAM MEDICAL

    Eintracht Frankfurt striker Sebastien Haller has passed his West Ham medical, according to Sky sources.

    Haller will sign a five-year contract today ahead of a £45m club-record move to the Hammers.

    he'll be announced at 5pm in the 1st kit eating pie and mash

    That would be 1:30pm BST just so that no one misses the game on Sky

    Obiang close to a move to Italy for £8m according to Sky.

    They should do every announcement at Konch's Kafé in Brentwood High Street

    Wigan are interested in signing West Ham striker Jordan Hugill.

    The Championship club are looking to strengthen their forward options and the former Preston man has been identified as a target.

    Discussions with West Ham about the 27 year old, who joined the Hammers in January 2018 for £10m, are ongoing.

    From what I have read the fee between the clubs is not problem. What is the problem is that Hugill is not keen on taking a cut in his £40k a week wage (and why would he).
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    so our 3rd choice striker or 4th choice ? Hugill probably wont go for more than 3 million

    Bournemouth sell their 3rd choice striker for 10m....
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    He's our 5th choice, we just sold 3 of those already because they weren't good enough...as is Hugill

    yoyo, there's a match thread of sorts here: http://www.whu606.com/discussion/10895/pre-season-schedule-and-games

    Ham, you have the honour of starting the welcome thread

    Now a DM please and I'm happy for the transfer window to finish...
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    I would say the jury is also still out on the right side of our defence. Zaba can no longer be first choice and it is up to Fredericks to still prove (in the remainder of pre-season) that he can be. I know it was only the first match, but there were yawning gaps on our right side in the first pre season friendly.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    If Obiang leaves a DM / CDM is going to be needed. After that I cant see any more incomings.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    I'd like a new RB but I think with Zab and Fredericks not going anywhere there isn't really space for it

    Think Pellegrini sees Wilshere as a key player for the first XI with Fornals/Lanzini

    Think we could do with a backup CDM who can cover Rice once Pedro leaves

    Fab
    Fredericks - Diop Balhuena Masuaku
    Rice - Wilshere
    Yarmo - Fornals- Anderson
    Haller

    Roberto
    Zab - Reid - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Noble - CM
    Snodgrass - Lanzini - Antonio
    Chicarito

    Might just be me but I feel many here underrate Fredericks. I think he's an absolutely terrific player. I appreciate Zab is getting on a bit now and has been a great signing but even as the second choice I think that's a pretty weak option.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Ok, so now Haller's over the line, let's start whinging about what else we need.

    Personally, from what I've seen of Sanchez so far, he isn't anywhere near good enough to be an able deputy to Rice's position. Form, injury or suspension will almost certainly rule Rice out for periods of next season, and we need someone who can step in and perform. Sanchez is not that man, IMO.

    I'm still not convinced that Cresswell or Zaba are at the required level, either. Again, if Masuaku or Fredericks are ruled out, I'd worry about who we have to bring in.

    And, obviously, we're still a striker down from last season (even with Haller signing) so I would imagine we'll see another one coming in soon.

    Big question on all fronts, is; who? I would imagine Fornals and Haller represent a large portion of the budget, so we could be looking at a couple of loans or frees heading our way. As back up, I wouldn't mind that so much, and I would imagine we have decent wages to be able to chuck at them given Arnie, Carroll, Adrian and Perez were costing us c.£350k a week between them, and the new signings have a reported combined weekly wage of around half that.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Pelle confirmed after the game that Antonio will continue to play as a striker, so I think that's our striker signings finished.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Although, noise on Twitter that we are in talks with another striker & are deliberately making an effort to keep it out the public domain...

    We're not very good at keeping out of the public domain if there is chatter on Twitter :hmm:
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Would like to keep Obiang to be honest. He would be very tidy with our new look midfield.

    Granted I dont really follow football outside the Prem (and Champo league), but £15mil for Hayden doesn't seem to be a bad deal

    Only 24, covers a position we lack, is homegrown, has physicality we lack & is fairly affordable given the market

    If Obiang does go for £9mil I think it's a pretty good deal
